Madrid Volunteers Bring Universal Human Rights Principles to the Public

Blog Article

MADRID, Spain — Volunteers from the Church of Scientology, Youth for Human Rights and Fundación MEJORA have taken human rights education into the streets of Madrid.

Wearing distinctive blue shirts, volunteers distributed booklets explaining the 30 articles of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

The outreach took place around Puerta del Sol, where an ongoing housing protest has drawn public attention to social rights and civic participation. Volunteers concentrated on raising awareness of universal rights without endorsing specific political demands.

The materials form part of an international educational programme supported by news eu commission the Church of Scientology. The information covers everyday rights relating to dignity, personal freedom, education and social protection.

The Universal Declaration connects human dignity with social protections and recognises education as an important means of advancing respect for fundamental freedoms.

Ivan Arjona, Scientology's representative to the EU, OSCE, Council of Europe and UN, connected the initiative with Europe's commitment to human dignity and fundamental freedoms.

The Church's involvement in human rights education reflects an emphasis on fundamental freedoms expressed by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.

The outreach brought internationally recognised human rights principles into everyday conversations in the Spanish capital.

Further details are available in the Scientology human rights education report from Madrid.
